Dual Accessory Shoes (Alpha Hot/ Universal Cold) The dual accessory shoes open the door to many accessories for both still and video photography, including shotgun microphones and external flash lighting.

Anti Motion Blur (Photo Mode) Perfect for situations with poor lighting or when using a telephoto lens, Anti Motion Blur mode will take 6 consecutive shots in a split second, taking the best of each individual image, and creating a single image with superb clarity and detail. Ideal for minimizing subject movement in low lighting conditions.

Eight White Balance Modes These help you get the shot by optimizing the camera for specific shooting situations. Select from Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Flash, and Custom modes.

Auto HDR (Photo Mode) High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography captures more scene contrast than a single exposure can handle by taking three consecutive shots very quickly with different exposure values, then combining the best highlight/shadow detail from them for one incredible shot. Ideal for situations where severe backlighting is present and other high-contrast scenes. (Recommended for still subjects.)

25-point Auto Focus Twenty five AF points cover a very wide area of the scene, for accurate focusing even when the subject is far from the center of the frame.

Handheld Twilight (Photo Mode) Great for shots in the evening or times with little available light, Handheld Twilight mode will reduce the effect of camera shake when shooting a stationary subject by taking 6 consecutive shots then combining them all to create an image that you would have been almost impossible otherwise.
